The Dissensus Album Canon

[pattycakes_]

I mean I'm also a fogie, that's the thing. I'm 40 this year. Just spent ages trying to organise a party and spent money reserving things and I think it's all gonna be cancelled.

And I really like and respect all the other fogies, even if they do tell me some of my taste ain't right and some of my opinions on other matters are wrong.

And I like the young guns too.

I just think dissensus does suffer a little from lack of feminine pressure sometimes but fuck it we'll all be post body soon

I'll be 37 in october so not far behind ya! Definitely not young anymore. I was checking my very small wardrobe out lately and I think it might be time to get some adult clobber. I also respect the elders of dissensus, this is one of the only places I bother coming to online and it's been that way for a while now. Where else can you get this kind of quality convo? Wish I knew. Few more members of the opposite sex would be cool tho, yeah.

you tell those fogies, catalog!

and waterfall is lovely imo!

He's exactly the same age as me!

But my point is it's perfectly fine for catalog to like whatever music he likes. But if dissensus means anything and stands for anything and retains any sense of identity then stone roses is not dissensus canon!

That's not up for debate! We are anti landfill Indie by design. It's written in our constitution

 

[luka]

There's some lines which can't be crossed and that's not my call it's the actual law of the land.

 

[luka]

What's next? Razorlight?

yeah, the chief fogey!

maybe that cannon is about to be toppled!

You can't take advantage of global panic and chaos rewrite the constitution. K-Punk would turn in his grave.

We like rap, R&B, reggae, house, techno, ' the hardcore continuum ' and grime. And that's it. Nothing else ever. Except The Police which is the one post punk group we collectively accept.

Me and the bats have been planning this for a long time, gramps! Expect jangly guitars and prog rock in COTD from now on.

k-punk also liked dido so i think he's a bit beyond the pale in all honesty. 😒but yes i agree this is an unwritten law of the land stone roses warrants an instantaneous
ban on here.

ultramagnetic mcs - critical beatdown is dissensus cannon.

k-punk also didn't like rap but the less said about that the better tbh. he had far more in common with the indie boys than people would like to admit, esp towards the end of his music writing.

Big Bluetones revival on the D in the next few weeks.

100% true but that is why we had to regretfully expel him from the forum

 

[pattycakes_]

Don't even get me started on Ocean Colour Scene

 

[catalog]

Oh cheers lads you've made me laugh today.

 

[catalog]

I was also gonna suggest Weezer first album I put that on today. Or some bob mould

 

[baboon2004]

Joni Mitchell is surely also canon here, one of several outliers. At least 'Blue'.

What other outliers are there?

 

[catalog]

In all seriousness tho luke, just listen to that album, go do it now.

 

[catalog]

I listened to that talk talk album what a pile of wank

 

[baboon2004]

i wasn't keen. bark psychosis is better for that kind of thing, even if the influence is clearly heavy

my whole idea when i did the dissensus canon was to get the silent majority to assert themselves and reveal that dissensus actually loves autecher, frank zappa and d beat, then you'd come back and be horrified at what'd happened when you were away.

then it turned out dissensus was exactly as it'd been caricatured; hardcore, rnb and chaka kahn.
